45: The First Term

Drive . . . and grow rich!The bestselling author of Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. In Adventure Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed "the Indiana Jones of finance” by Time magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. "While I have never patronized a prostitute,” he writes, "I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister.”Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their "Millennium Adventure” on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes.They camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers.Best of all, they saw the real world from the ground up—the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood—economically, politically, and socially.Here are just a few of the author's conclusions: • The new commodity bull market has started.• The twenty-first century will belong to China.• There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia.• Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating.• India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries.• The Euro is doomed to fail.• There are fortunes to be made in Angola.• Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are a scam.• Bolivia is a comer after decades of instability, thanks to gigantic amounts of natural gas.Adventure Capitalist is the most opinionated, sprawling, adventurous journey you're likely to take within the pages of a book—the perfect read for armchair adventurers, global investors, car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in seeing the world and understanding it as it really is.

On growing up with a dad who firmly believed that all Democrats are nuts: "He drilled it into my long term memory that the government doesn't need to tax us more they just need to be more wise about how they spend it." On Trump's 45 minute announcement speech at Trump Tower on June 16th, 2015: "June 16th was a return fire missile launching that was meant to protect a large group of people that felt ignored and pushed aside for the past eight years." On the similarities between Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura's win in 1998 and Donald Trump's win in 2016: "Anything in politics is possible if the people have had enough of the establishment...They will indeed rise up and win elections that nobody else thought they could win." On President Trump's anti politically correct movement where it was okay to say Merry Christmas again: "To many it was a breath of fresh air after a growing number of years of having the air contaminated by over politically correct nonsense." On comparing the old days of CNN to what they are now: "What was once a respected news outlet has turned into nothing but a Democratic left wing network that spews nothing but propagandized editorialized filth." On the Republicans failure to come up with a plan for affordable health care: "Two years to come up with a solution...The Republicans apparently didn't fully hear the message that 63 million voters sent on election day." On the Democrats resist, obstruct and impeach movement since Trump was elected: "It was an awfully disgraceful display of politics by a corrupt party...I truly hope that they get their party put back together for future elections. Until they do that I'm not interested." (lib)
